[1] And the word of the Lord came to Jehu, son of Hanani, protesting
against Baasha and saying, [2] Because I took you up out of the dust, and
made you ruler over my people Israel; and you have gone in the ways of
Jeroboam, and made my people Israel do evil, moving me to wrath by their
sins; [3] Truly, I will see that Baasha and all his family are completely
brushed away; I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son
of Nebat. [4] Anyone of the family of Baasha who comes to death in the
town, will become food for the dogs; and he to whom death comes in the open
country, will be food for the birds of the air. [5] Now the rest of the
acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his power, are they not recorded in
the book of the history of the kings of Israel? [6] And Baasha went to rest
with his fathers, and was put into the earth at Tirzah; and Elah his son
became king in his place. [7] And the Lord sent his word against Baasha and
his family by the mouth of the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, because of
all the evil he did in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath by the
work of his hands, because he was like the family of Jeroboam, and because
he put it to death. [8] In the twenty-sixth year that Asa was king of
Judah, Elah, the son of Baasha, became king of Israel in Tirzah, and he was
king for two years. [9] And his servant Zimri, captain of half his
war-carriages, made secret designs against him: now he was in Tirzah,
drinking hard in the house of Arza, controller of the king's house in
Tirzah. [10] And Zimri went in and made an attack on him and put him to
death, in the twenty-seventh year that Asa was king of Judah, and made
himself king in his place. [11] And straight away when he became king and
took his place on the seat of the kingdom, he put to death all the family
of Baasha: not one male child of his relations or his friends kept his
life. [12] So Zimri put to death all the family of Baasha, so that the word
which the Lord said against him by the mouth of Jehu the prophet came
about; [13] Because of all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his
son, which they did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel,
to wrath by their foolish acts. [14] Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and
all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings
of Israel? [15] In the twenty-seventh year of Asa, king of Judah, Zimri was
king for seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were attacking Gibbethon in
the land of the Philistines. [16] And news came to the people in the tents
that Zimri had made a secret design and had put the king to death: so all
Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king that day in the tents. [17]
Then Omri went up from Gibbethon, with all the army of Israel, and they
made an attack on Tirzah, shutting in the town on every side. [18] And when
Zimri saw that the town was taken, he went into the inner room of the
king's house, and burning the house over his head, came to his end, [19]
Because of his sin in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord, in going in the
way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he made Israel do. [20] Now the rest
of the acts of Zimri, and the secret design he made, are they not recorded
in the book of the history of the kings of Israel? [21] Then there was a
division among the people of Israel; half the people were for making Tibni,
son of Ginath, king, and half were supporting Omri. [22] But the supporters
of Omri overcame those who were on the side of Tibni, the son of Ginath;
and death came to Tibni and to his brother Joram at that time: and Omri
became king in the place of Tibni. [23] In the thirty-first year of Asa,
king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel, and he was king for twelve
years; for six years he was ruling in Tirzah. [24] He got the hill Samaria
from Shemer for the price of two talents of silver, and he made a town
there, building it on the hill and naming it Samaria, after Shemer the
owner of the hill. [25] And Omri did evil in the eyes of the Lord, even
worse than all those before him, [26] Copying all the evil ways of
Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and all the sins he did and made Israel do,
moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath by their foolish ways. [27]
Now the rest of the acts which Omri did, and his great power, are they not
recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel? [28] So Omri
went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria; and
Ahab his son became king in his place. [29] In the thirty-eighth year that
Asa was king of Judah, Ahab, the son of Omri, became king over Israel; and
Ahab was king in Samaria for twenty-two years. [30] And Ahab, the son of
Omri, did evil in the eyes of the Lord, even worse than all who went before
him. [31] And as if copying the evil ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat,
was a small thing for him, he took as his wife Jezebel, daughter of
Ethbaal, king of Zidon, and became a servant and worshipper of Baal. [32]
And he put up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal which he had made in
Samaria. [33] And Ahab made an image of Asherah and did more than all the
kings of Israel before him to make the Lord, the God of Israel, angry. [34]
In his days Hiel made Jericho; he put its base in position at the price of
Abiram, his oldest son, and he put its doors in place at the price of his
youngest son Segub; even as the Lord had said by Joshua, the son of Nun.
